Flowing from alien minds converged

A foul plot from Oblivion has emerged

From a Triad of Princes, with wicked intent

Enacting conspiracies most malevolent

The Bargainer, the Spinner, and the Mistress of Night

Unbound by the Compact that limits their kind

Steal the energy of the Clockwork God, Seht

to remake the world as they see fit

Allied, deities unified

Unstoppable to those who dare defy

Scheming, together unleashing

A cosmic force, this is the Daedra War

Harnessing the power of the Evergloam

To install a pretender on the Aligned Throne

They searched for the artifact they pursued

Shrouded in the bedlam that ensued

Recovering the mythic Skeleton Key

Would unlock their collective dreams

Success flew upon the wings of crows

But treachery was lying in the shadows

Betrayal at the hands of Nocturnal

A double-cross, inducing ultimate loss

Vanished, to their realms banished

Returning no more, so ends The Daedra War

So now the shadows lie in slumber

And bargains are struck in silence

The spiders patiently weave their webs

Until the day they wreak their vengeance
